Super Bowl prop bets are easily the best part about the Big Game. From the most casual bettors to the pros – sharp bettors, if you will – all of them can and do get involved.

In fact, Super Bowl props have grown so popular that there is now more money bet on props than on the game itself. That will certainly be the case Sunday, when the New England Patriots meet the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl 60.

Following are the five most interesting Super Bowl 60 prop bets that pro bettors made, and five popular 2026 Super Bowl prop bets from the public.

Five Super Bowl Prop Bets That Sharps are Making

Just Say No

When it comes to Super Bowl props, professional bettors are usually aligned with bookmakers. The sharps often bet on things not to happen. If it's a Yes/No prop, they'll generally be on No. If it's an Over/Under prop, they'll lean into the Under.

And that's just the way sportsbooks want it.

"I want the game to be as boring as possible," SuperBook vice president John Murray said. "I want to fall asleep in my office chair, watching the game."

On Wednesday night, The SuperBook held its annual ritual of unveiling a massive Super Bowl 60 prop bets menu. It's a 53-page packet with approximately 500 different bets.

And with some of those props having several options – Super Bowl MVP, first touchdown scorer, etc. – there are literally thousands of possible wagers to be made. Following are five sharp bets on Super Bowl 60 odds.

Will There Be A 2-Point Conversion Attempt?

This is an interesting one. It's a variation of the much more popular Super Bowl prop: Will there be a successful 2-point conversion? More on that one later.

In this instance, it's just a matter of whether there will be a 2-point attempt, regardless of outcome. But for sharp bettors, the answer is still the same on this Yes/No proposition. The SuperBook took immediate action Wednesday night on No -140 and moved to No -160.

"A lot of times, we don't mind taking those bets, because we know the public will be all over the other side, betting on Yes," SuperBook risk manager Casey Degnon said. "This is one of those times. We'll still need the No at kickoff."

Mack Hollins Receptions

Patriots wideout Mack Hollins has an Over/Under of 2.5 receptions at The SuperBook. The Under was definitely attractive to professional bettor Bill Krackomberger, who jumped on it right after it opened Wednesday night.

"Under 2.5 at -130 or better is good value. Of all 10 bets I made, that's probably the best one all day. And I bet it twice," Krackomberger said.

In fact, he max bet twice. The SuperBook was taking wagers to win up to $2,000 on favorites, or up to a $2,000 bet on underdogs. So Krackomberger bet Hollins Under 2.5 (-110) for $2,200, then came back with $2,600 on Under 2.5 (-130).

"In this situation, I think the Patriots are not gonna go to him as much," he said.

Rhamondre Stevenson Receptions

The SuperBook opened Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson's reception count at Over/Under 2.5. Interestingly, that drew action on both sides of this Super Bowl prop bet market.

"We took a sharp bet at Over 2.5 (-140), moved to Over 2.5 (-160), and then took a sharp bet on Under 2.5 (+140). So we're back where we started," Degnon said.

TreVeyon Henderson Receiving Yards

Sharps seemed to dial in on Patriots running backs in the passing game, during the first hour of Super Bowl prop bets wagering at The SuperBook. TreVeyon Henderson opened with an Over/Under of 4.5 receiving yards.

"We took $2,000 on Under 4.5, so we went to 3.5," Degnon said. "Henderson didn't play a lot last week. Plus, his Over/Under on catches is 0.5. At a number as low as 4.5 yards, you're kind of betting on no catches.

"But it's better than betting on Under 0.5 catches. He could still catch a swing pass or a screen that doesn't go for 5 yards."

Distance Of First Made Field Goal

These are the kinds of Super Bowl 60 props that the wiseguys seek out and recreational bettors completely bypass. It's just not a sexy bet.

But the idea is to make money. A professional bettor fired right away on The SuperBook's Over/Under of 36.5 yards for the first made field goal.

"We took $2,000 on the first made field goal Over 36.5, and $2,000 on the last made field goal Over 36.5. So we moved both to 37.5," Degnon said.

Five Popular Super Bowl Prop Bets

Just Say Yes

Murray has been at The SuperBook for 19 years, so he's seen all the public tendencies when it comes to Super Bowl props. Murray could've easily reeled off 10 wagers that the masses make each year.

"They always bet Yes on a safety. They always bet Yes on overtime. They always bet on a successful 2-point conversion," Murray said. "And one that got really popular last year is the Octopus."

And of course, player to score the first touchdown is popular. Let's touch on each of those five.

Will There Be A Safety?

What recreational bettors want is to bet a little to win a lot. That's what makes this Yes/No prop so attractive.

The SuperBook opened No as a -1400 favorite and Yes a +800 underdog. The public likes that +800. Throwing down $10 to win $80 is enticing. Or better still $100 to win $800.

Just bear this in mind: In 59 previous Super Bowls, there have been just nine safeties. And the last one came in the 2014-15 season, on literally the first offensive play of the game.

The snap went over Broncos QB Peyton Manning's head, and Denver recovered in its end zone as the Seahawks went up 2-0 just 12 seconds into the game. Seattle went on to a 43-8 blowout win.

Will There Be Overtime?

The SuperBook has this market priced in the same range as the safety in Super Bowl 60 prop bets. No is a hefty -2000 favorite, while Yes is +1000.

It's a fun play, to be sure. Betting $100 to win $1,000 is alluring.

But of the first 50 Super Bowls none got to overtime. The first one to do so: Patriots. vs. Falcons in Super Bowl 51, to cap the 2016-17 season.

Bettors on both sides of that prop will certainly recall Atlanta blowing a 28-3 lead, and New England winning 34-28 in overtime.

Two years ago, the Chiefs and 49ers gave us just the second overtime in Super Bowl history. The two teams were tied at 19 through four quarters, and Kansas City won 25-22.

Will There Be A Successful 2-Point Conversion?

This one doesn't pay out anywhere near what Yes on the safety or overtime pay. But it's got a big enough plus-money price to get the public's attention. At The SuperBook, it's No -350/Yes +290.

There were two successful 2-point conversions last year in Super Bowl 59, from the Chiefs' DeAndre Hopkins and Justin Watson. Not that those helped Kansas City much in a 40-22 loss to the Eagles.

But the bettors were certainly satisfied.

Will There Be An Octopus?

This is a relatively new option in Super Bowl props, getting more notice from sportsbooks over the past five years. For the uninitiated: An Octopus is when a player scores a touchdown, then scores the subsequent 2-point conversion. Eight points, all from the same player.

As Murray alluded to above, The SuperBook first posted it for last year's Eagles-Chiefs showdown, and it didn't hit.

But in Super Bowl 57, also between the Eagles and Chiefs, the Octopus cashed. Philadelphia QB Jalen Hurts scored a TD with 5:15 remaining to make it 35-33, and he ran in the 2-point conversion to tie it at 35. K.C. ultimately won 38-35 on a final-seconds field goal.

This year, The SuperBook has No a huge -6000 favorite and Yes a +1600 underdog.

Player To Score The First Touchdown

This option is popular not just in Super Bowl prop bets, but every week of the season, in every NFL game. Occasionally, you can nail a longer shot to get a nice payout. Regardless, public bettors just like a wager that can settle up quickly and hopefully get the game off to a good start.

"It's fast, quick action. Odds are usually pretty good for some of the longer shots, and it's a fun bet to root for," Degnon said. "Everybody loves a good touchdown scorer sweat."

The SuperBook opened Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III as the +400 favorite in player to score the first touchdown of Super Bowl 60. Seahawks wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the +600 second choice.

From there, the odds stretch to +1000 for Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson, then +1200 for Pats tight end Hunter Henry.

If you want to get frisky and pick a quarterback to score the first TD, New England's Drake Maye is +1600, Seattle's Sam Darnold is a +4000 long shot.
